OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My husband is also in that ship & division. Have you started looking for a hotel or booking travel yet? We're only coming from Michigan, so I'll drive, but I haven't looked into where to stay yet!

Hi Chris,
Yes, I received a call on Monday (5/16). Quite a surprise and so welcomed that I cried. Barron (my son) said that the division passed a test and the RC told them they could make a call.
Hope to meet you at PIR, or the "meet and greet" on 6/16. How long does it take to drive from Maryland? We are flying in from San Diego, CA.

Hi Chris,
We talked for at least 15 mins. My 9 year old daughter was home from school and she too, got to talk with him. He was relaxed and not in a hurry. I almost missed the call because I did not recognize the area code and let it go to voicemail. When he called again in 5 minutes I decided to pick up. Glad that I did.
How old is Sean?
